Answered: Can old ID plates be used?

[Eric_J]

Do the new colored ID plates have to be used this year, or can we use regular plates from previous years?

This question will be answered after the scheduled June 2nd manual update. We appreciate your patience.

On June 2nd rule <R19> was updated to address this issue. Please see below.

@VEX Skyrise Game Manual

<R19>
c. Robots must use the colored plates that match their alliance color for each match. (i.e. Robots on the red alliance must have their red plates on for the match)

Thus, Robots must display the new license plates, match the colour to their alliance colour. The old license plates are not permitted. (Actually, teams have never been allowed to reuse license plates from year to year.)
